Raiders drafted Gareon Conley at #24, even though the cornerback was accused of rape earlier this month. But maybe for long-time Raider fans it makes sense. It it works out great, if not, Conley ends up being Las Vegas’s problem.

Overheard by a friend with her daughter at a SF Bay area formal wear store. Millennial walks in Friday afternoon at 3pm. Tells a salesperson, I’m supposed to pick up my dress tomorrow but I’m going to be busy so want to pick it up now.” Women politely tells her “it’s in process.” The response “Can you make it ready?”

Dr. David Dao has apparently reached an “amicable settlement” with United Airlines. Wonder how many rea$on$ they gave him to settle.

Apparently Obama will accept $400,000 to speak at a health care conference this year sponsored by Cantor Fitzgerald. How dare he enrich himself after leaving the Presidency? A real leader would have enriched himself DURING his Presidency.
